What is the Java Runtime Environment and why do I need it?

The Java Runtime Environment (in short JRE) is the platform that enables Advanced Web Stats to run on almost any platform that exists today. You can thus use Advanced Web Stats on the operating system that you enjoy most.

Advanced Web Stats requires the JRE version 1.5. If you have a previous version, please download the latest version for your operating system:

http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/ (for Windows and Linux).

How can I install the AWS tracker script?

To install the Advanced Web Stats script please follow the steps below:

  1. Download the AWS tracker script aws.js and copy it to the main directory of your website content.
  2. Reference the script (<script type="text/javascript" src="/aws.js"></script>) in your HTML. Enter the following line in all of your HTML pages. Although it can go anywhere in the pages, we recommend putting it in the <head> section. If you use a common include or template, you can enter it there.
  3. Setup your profile. In the AWS Administration interface, edit the profile in question and click on the General Settings tab. Set the Visitor Tracking Method to AWS Session ID and click the Apply button
